ROSALIND EMILY HAMILTON QREILIY, OF WESTMINSTER, ENGLAND.

HAN D-COVERING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed October 2, 1916. Serial No. 123,424.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ROSALIND EMILY HAMILTON OREILLY, a subject of HisMajesty the King of England, and resident of Victoria street, in thecity of Westminster, Kingdom of England, have invented certain new anduseful Improved Hand- Coverings, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to improvements in hand coverings of the kindcomprising a hood which is formed With a slit to permit the release ofthe hand therethrough.-

The invention is hereinafter described Copies of this patent may beobtained for The object of this invention is to provide workers exposedto cold such as soldiers in trenches with one simple hand covering whichmay always be kept on and therefore not easily be mislaid.

This invention differs from others of the kind to which it relates inthat the slit is longitudinal, not transverse; yet is not placed at thewrist but above it and in the direction of the length of the fingers. Anadvantage in the use of my hand covering as illustrated is that the handcan release itself without any assistance.

What I claim is A hand covering having a longitudinal slit in its bodyportion, and flaps extending from opposite edges of the slit, each flapextending beyond the free edge of the other to form a closure when thethumb of the wearer is inclosed.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 18th day ofSeptember, '1916.

ROSALIND EMILY HAMILTON O'REI'LLY.
